IG mobile app outage and pathetic help desk responses, no refund almost 10 days


Recommended Posts

Hi, there was an outage on 26th August and I could not close my trades. 

At one point in time I was at breakeven but I am not sure, could have been in a bit of profit too or very little loss.

I shared data of transactions, couple of them were options, some of them were index futures trades etc.

My request has gone into dispute as they said the time I referred to and prices are not matched, some UTC and UK time ****.

So I told them to analyse their own logs when was the outage and compare the price, I was in real panic and still I am, so my reported timing could be off a bit.

Another problem I have is as the option expired, what is the way I go back in the history and open up the charts to show them? They have neve come back to me on that.

It has been almost 8-9 days and the response is pathetic and cold, in fact no response for the last 2-3 days.

Has anyone gone through this pain and successfully came out of it?

What is your overall experience with IG trading? So far I have found the mobile app execution really ****, to the level I might close my accounts with them.

Hi @Harty10,

Thank you for your post.

It seems that you contacted the helpdesk and they offered a resolution.

You can access the Options charts by adding the market on the workspace then click on a call or put and click on the chart logo at the top right hand corner of the dealing ticket as below:

I hope that it helps.

If you need further assistance on your dispute please reach out to helpdesk.uk@ig.com.

All the best - Arvin

    • Lots of Open Source Stuff on Github, I've worked with the API for probably 10 years or so.    https://github.com/tg12
    • That is called "algorithmic trading" or "algotrading" and a wealth of books/videos is available about this subject, e.g. the /r/algotrading subreddit.
    • I recently came across a trading bot carnival on Bitget where users are encouraged to trade EIGEN, CATI, TON, and MOODENG to share from $50,000. Though this looks enticing but I was confused, is bot trading different from copy trading? He explained that both methods trade for you automatically. Specifically, copy trading lets you copy the trade of an experienced trader, whereas bot trading follows set rules or algorithms to make trades. He recommended both as great starting points for beginners like me to get a feel for the market. I recently started exploring copy trading and now I need to add bot trading along since I want to try out the carnival and if it is better I might stick to it or what do you think?
